"?nri for Heaveti's sake how j'dftl you -: happen to get Jaere?" I repliW;; as I ?'.:~ recognized my old'friend, once th?

Judge inlthe . newly-organized .Ctouuty. oCTom; Green, in the State of Texas;^ The first person* who\ appeared before Df;';r.me'.in my official capacity, was a man by. !>>y-the name of Jefferson "Wilkes. He was" of the tramp trampy,' limped "from'the ^i- effects of a scalp wound" on the^ankle; and had his mouth drawn all to one Bide, -i: . aa if he had been accidentally hit' by ? < i spent Haut Bandwicfilp:*-' \ '/J - ; The:marf had oh1 the previous evening' in the principal street of the town fired off his pistol with murderous intent at a ^reputable citizen named Wilkinson. The bullet had missed its mark, but had ?broken a largeOpiate-glass window in the ^-. v^ront of the most. popular saloon of the townV The people were indignant, and ?f some of the ; prominent citizens insisted . / upon an example being made of this man Wilkes, who was a stranger. They hired a lawyer to assist the County At* r-H-- tdrney in prosecuting- him, and so " thai - 'the most extreme punishment under the law might be visited on Wilkes the charge of shooting at Wilkinson was abandoned, and he was arraigned for breaking the ^^^Ufe'g^s window;, which was the pride ? of the town.. Mr. "Jefferson Wilkes had no defense, and'I sentenced him to bix months in, the.county jail. The devil of it wa3 that, 4:. being only a recently organized County, ? 1 we had not had time to build a'jail. |rfr<After sentence- Mr. Wilkes was turned ;over to the Sheriff, who did not know fe>'. 'what in the world to do with him. Ifi - /."Here,, here,'' . said the Sheriff to me, ' .'!what have you gone and done? I've c^rgot no jail to put this man in. What am '-^--Jgoing to do with him ?" My reply was, "That is none of my business. .The law says the man shall baiucarcejated m,the county jail for six mont hs, and the law also implies that the Sheriffshall be custodiau of the prisoner during that term. Now you may do ^ H; what you please." After. some discussion between the ^VivtmeriiFand myself and the other county :r officials, we suggested to the prisoner |r that he would stay within the bailiwick tg'y&u*9' 'i six ; months, and that we would j?r givjiouBly waiv^the matter of putting .';n'iiit in jail. ' He said that he was a citi \zen?f the United States; that he knew his rights under the Constitution, and that he would be dog- gaated if he would l^??jany?iing of the kind. He continued: i"C"It. is your dnty?hot only your duty but your privilege?to entertain, feed and :' care for me during these six months, and .'. now^wbat are yorfgoiDg'to do about it ?" - The first day the Sheriff had to sit' with would not allow ' anch a -disreputable person e3 the prisoner to come inside the door. The next day Baldwin Bragg/ the Sheriff, came to me and said; ' "What kind of a Judge are you, nohow ? Don't you know no law? What's the matter of your sending a man to jail when there ain't no jail?' WBy, rMJv?ear~it;will cost me over ten 'dollars a week' to keep this scoundrel in the hotel at Sau Jose and it will cost another twenty dollars a week to hire a man with a gun to watch Mm. . Now see if " yon can't use your blooming influence to induce this ruffian to escape. You fix it and I'll wink at his departure." I called around to see Mr. Jefferson Wilkes, the prisoner. "See here, Wilkes," I said, "this is a pretty tight place you got into and I am sorry for yon, but I could not do any? thing else than give yon six months. The law allows me no discretion in the matter, but I like you, for you are ap? parently a whole-souled fellow, and I want to tell yon how I think you can get but of thisBnap." . "WeU,how?? "Come here"; and I took him up into an alley and said confidentially, "This H is how?escape!" p.- j~ "But I don't want to escape. I want to live with you, and maybe die with i;v you. I don't want to work. You gave [:.. me six months and you have to support : me for that time, and keep me at tb.9 ^hotel or the jail,, or somewhere ; but you . haven't got no jail, so I am rather of the . opinion that. I have got a soft little 'snap." We saw that this offer wouldn't work, 'so after some consultation I again ap? proached the prisoner and told him, with. "; a.view to induce him to leave the Coun? ty, that we had just received a message from his wife at Galvestpn who had heard - of his trouble and thatshe would be out to see him on the next stage. This had no effect upon the hardened criminal. All he said was, "Which wife do you ' refer to?" Then the Sheriff proposed to Wilkes that if he would allow us to kill him, as . there was $150 reward for him dead or alive in the next county, we would give the reward and SIC 0 extra to his heirs and assigns. He said that six months' good living in this County was better ; than $250 to a dead man anywhere, and r- h'e was not going to leave. There was a , town meeting to consider the matter, and ~one-third the inhabitants of the County - \ were in attendance. It was proposed by the Chairman of the County Commission '. ere "that $200 be appropriated out of the county funds to buy a mule for Jefferson ?<Wilkes, and that $50 extra for expenses be also appropriated and turned over to {said Wilkes, conditional that said Wilkes on said aaule should leave said County of Tom Green and never thereafter appear in said County." y- . Wilkes accepted this proposition and Jefferson Wilkes, escorted by several [^-hundred of the gafceful citizens of San Jose, passed out of the town forever, on board of a mule with a Napoleonic nose and burrs in his tail.?J.

Most plants derive their nutriment from the ground by means of their roots, but there are those which feed on insects, and arc very curiously adapted for this purpose. Specially to be noted of this class are the pitcher plants, of which there is quite a variety. One of the 'moat beatiful grows on the Sierra ?Nevada Mountains, in Northern CalifoE nia, higher up than tbe top of Mount Washington. It is called Darlingtonia I Californica. It has no leaves, but from the root there grow two kinds of pitchers, some of them small, others large, veined and beautifully colored, having a curved roof and two long flaring wings. Each ' of these pitchers is twisted about half a turn. The colors are brilliant reds, yel? lows and greens, richer and mellower than most plants of this sort. The Mower grows on a stem four or five feet in height, and resembles a red and yellow striped tulip hanging downward. Both .flower and pitcher are arranged as a trap .tu entice and catch the unwary insect. I In North Carolina there is a pitcher plant that has some ordinary leaves, while others are so folded and fastened together as to form a long t?be, very . small at the base> bulging out in the mid? dle, then drawn in at the top, which is open. Above there is quite a wide, veined and curved leaf, which is upright and partially covers the pitcher. - Along the edge of that portion of the leaf pitcher outside of the se'am there are honey drops to allure tbe insect to the top, where it tumbles down into the tube, which is covered with delicate hairs pointing downward, so that once in there is no getting out. Some of these plants have clear spots at tbe upper end which lets in the light. . In Borneo there are giant pitcher plants [Nepenthes). One species has brightly colored, bottle shaped leaves which stand upright on the ground, and one leaf holds about two quarts of pure water, which is distilled from tbe plant itself. Others creep along on the ground and cling to the rocks. Their leaves are in the form of the water flasks with, a lid. Others, are epiphtal. .Of these .the best and most distinct is N. Veitchii, which bear6 from thirty to forty pitchers, some of which are red, others green blotched with red, while some are pure green. N. Lovii in shape resem? bles an bid fashioned wine flagon ; it is epiphtal, glowing on Casuasineer trees at an elevation 5,000 to 6,000 feet on Kina Balu mountain. Not all of the pitcher plants can be classed, however, among the traps. , Bladder-worts are among tbe iusect catchers. They grow mostly in water, but "some are epiphytal. The curious little cups or bladders were formerly sun posed to be useful for floating the plant, bat closer observation ban shown them to be for traps. When an insect comes in contact with the mouth of the bladder, a trap door suddenly opens, the victim is drawn in and absorbed. There is a quantity of little four-rayed stars inside the stomach, which are the organs of digestion. The sun-dew is another of the insect catchers. Some have long, narrow leaves; others round ones. These sparkle in the sunshine as though covered with rain drops or dew. It is a sweet, sticky substance by which insects are caught, Through a magnifying glass the leaf will be seen to be fringed around the edge and covered on the upper surface with what have been called tentacles, because they seem like the arms of certain sea animals, with which they capture their prey. The leaf sags a little in the mid? dle, and when an insect is glued fast by the sticky drop every tentacle begins to curve over and fasten him more strongly. The movement is very slow?so slow that it takes frequently several hours for it to be complete. What is very remarkable about it, if a fly alights on the side of the leaf, or anywhere a way from the centre, the tentacle it touches bends over, car? ing its prey with it to the centre of the leaf, and then all of the tentacles move toward the middle and clasp it. The leaf then pours over it a liquid acid which dissolves what is good for food, thus acting as it does the gastric juice in our stomachs. One full meal will last the plant nearly a week. It must have the right kind of food, however. Dr. Darwin fed a sun-dew on cheese, which made it turn yellow and sickly, and it finally died with dyspepsia. When a few drops of milk were poured on a leaf, it curved up around the edges, making the form more cup-like, while the tenta? cles bent over to absorb it. Another remarkable thing has been noted; if a bit of meat is divided, half of it placed on the leaf and the other on some moss beside the piece on leaf will remain fresh nntil digested, while that on the moss becomes spoiled. Venus' Fly-trap is of quite different construction from those described. Tbe leaves grow out from the centre of the plant and are in three divisions. On the tip of each grows the trap, which is made similar to the valves a clam shell. They are hinged at the back and edged all around with sharp spikes. On the inner side are three long haire which are very sensitive, so that the instant they are touched the valves close, the spikes are locked together and the insect is antrap ped. If the thing caught is the right sort for food, the spikes remain clasped till it is digested; if not good, they speedily open and drop it out. In view of the wonderful operations of the vegetable traps specified, it would seem as though they were possessed of intelligence.?Transcript. Disqualified "Voters. At the last session of the legislature an act was passed providing for a mode of ascertaining the names of registered vo? ters convicted of disqualifying crimes. The clerk of the court is required, on or before the fifteenth day of October, 1890, to furnish tbe supervisor of registration with a complete list of all male persons convicted of treason, murder, robbery or dueling, from the 2Gth day of April 1SS3, and of all persons convicted of treason, murder, burglary, larceny, perjury, for? gery, or any other infamous crime or du? elling, since the first day of January, 18S3. All such reports must be accompanied by the certificate of the clerk. So is every trial justice required to make out under his band and seal a certified list of all male persons convicted before him, or such of his predecessors whose trial docket is in his possession, of petit lar? ceny, and such report must be submitted to tbe supervisors of registration on or before the fifteenth day of October. In case any trial justice goes out of office, he shall furnish such list immediately upon retiring, up to tbe date of going out V/f effice.? YorivUle Enquirer. Legislative Panacea*. Every little while the "crahki" of all descriptions, from Maine to Texas and California appear to conspire to address Congress, each on his own favorite hobby, and the aggregate is Somewhat bewilder? ing to people of the ordinary kind. Just now we are suffering from a deluge of this kind. The Farmers' Alliance of ' Minnesota demands the abolition of the Supreme Court of the United States, be? cause some Of its recent decisions do not please tbe farmers. From several other States Come demands for a law prohibit? ing all foreclosures of mortgages by cred? itors. While a band of wise men in Kan? sas, who appear to sec some good in the creditor and do not cafe really to ruin him, ask for a law providing that when mortgage debts fall due, tbe value of the property shall be ascertained by Federal official, and the whole debt, so far as warranted by tbe value of the property, be advanced from the Federal treasury to pay the debt, the debtor in the meantime being allowed twenty years to repay the advance, which in the meantime shall bear only one per cent, interest. The foes of the Chinese have also joined the army of petitioners, and have actually, within the last few days, secured the passage of a bill by- the House of Representatives which nominally pro? vides for an enumeration of the Chinese within our boundaries, and then goes on to provide farther that all who are not so counted and do not receive official cer? tificates of the fact: shall be imprisoned and expelled and excluded from the country. The provisions of this bill con? stitute a gross breach of good faith under the terms of our present treaty, and the protest offered by Mr. Foster, counsel for tbe Chinese Legation, is based on famil? iar principles of common sense and jus? tice. It is astonishing that such a bill should have passed the House, and we cannot believe that it will ever pass the Senate and secure tbe President's signa? ture.?New York Examiner. A Mermaid at Last? Jacksonville, April 19.?W. W; St an ton, mate of tbe echoouerj Ad die Scbtefler, now lying at the Market House dock, while fish'ing for bass three hundred miles off St. Augustine, drew in bis line and found entangled therein the strangest fish, if it is a fish, that bus ever been caught. This etrange creature is about six feet long, pure white and scaleless. The head and face are wonderfully human in shape and features. The shoulders are well outlined, and Very much resemble those of a woman, and the bosom is well defined, and shows considerable develop? ment, while the hips and abdomen con? tinue the humao appearance. There are four flippers, two of which are placed at the lower termination of the body, and give one the impression that nature made an effort to supply the strange creature with lower limbs. Mr. Stanton confesses to quite a fright on first sight of his queer prize, which, on being drawn on board, gave utterance to a low, moaning cry, which might easily have been mistaken for the sobbing of a baby. It is extremely unfortunate that Mr. Stanton did not succeed in keeping the creature alive, which he thought might have been done, as the strange object lived two days after being taken. Tbe schooner has been thronged all day by curioU3 visitors, who express much won? der and astonishment at the strange ob? ject. Mr. Stanton, after visiting several ports and showing his queer creature, will donate it to the Smithsonian Institu? tion. The fish or mermaid is in a large six-foot glass jar in alcohol.?New York Sun._ A Card from Cnpt. Tillman. To the Public : Invitations to Bpeak are beginning to come to me. t desire to say that all.such letters should bead-, dressed to Capt. G. W. Shell, Laurens, S. C, chairman of the campaign commit? tee. The reasons are obvious. To canvass the State thoroughly will require much travel, and cannot well be done under three months; and to save both expense and labor, there must be some systematic arrangements. Captain Shell can also judge where and when my services are most needed, and arrange accordingly. If the Democratic Committee Would not call the State Con? vention till September, tbe canvass could be deterred till tbe crop is almost laid by, and I would prefer not to precipitate a heated political campaign when all are so busy. But I am ready to open tbe ball whenever it suits tbe people, and the campaign committee think best. Respectfully, B. R. Tillman. Ropers, S. C, April 10,1890. ? A gentleman who has just returned from South Africa says that it is one of the best countries in the world for profi? table real estate investments. "South Africa," he says, "already has beautiful and thriving towns, and it is destined to be the seat of a great and progressive English-speaking race. When I was there some years ago I was surprised at tbe extensive improvements, at the ener? gy of the people and the natural resour? ces of the land. It is the place of places to put away a few thousand dollars to let them grow." ? The immigration of colored people from North and South Carolina to the Valley of the Mississippi has been sud? denly checked. Most of these people had gone to work on the rich river plan? tations between Vicksburg and Green? ville. They had never seen a flood before, and when the high water came and the levees broke, and tbey were compelled to Beek refuge on them or any high pieces of land they could find, they were naturally panic stricken at this difference between their new and their old homes. The news of their destitute condition has reached the Carolinas, and in consequence the immigration fever quickly abated, ? One of the most flourishing indus? tries of Birmingham and other English centers of labor is tbe manufacture of idols. This is an example of commercial enterprise that quite puts the proverbial Yankee in the shade. Tbe Englishman sells idols to the heathen, and then calls on the rest of the world for funds with which to send out missionaries to convert the heathen from the error of his ways. The heathen men and women, the Eng? lish manufacturers and the missionaries, play well into each other's bands.?New York Star. ? In the north the habit of chewing tobacco is dying out. This is no gain, as it is said that the cigarette habit is taking its place. During the past ten years tbe sale of chewing tobacco has fallen off fif? ty per cent, while the sale of cigarettes is constantly on the increase. So much has been said against tobacco chewers that the youngsters of the present generation have turned to cigarettes. Occasionally the evil effects of cigarettes are shown up in the newspapers, but when anything is cheap and popular it is hard to put it down. ?

It was afterward identified as that of Henry Borck, an old engineer, who had been out of work for about five months. He waB a member of Lincoln Lodge, Knights of Honor, in which his life was insured for $3,000. It transpired at the inquest that Borck had Committed suicide in order that his children might receive the $3,000 in? surance on his life. He was afraid that if he lived much longer he would be unable to keep up with his assessments. He, therefore, to save his children from star? vation, committed suicide. RicMoifb, Va , April 16.?At Slaters ville, New Kent County, W. Ball haH been killed by his son-in law, B. T. Bar ham. The news, though meagre, is to the effect that Barham and Ball met in a road near the home of the latter yesterday af? ternoon. Ball was alone and Barham was accompanied by his brother. Ball opened fire on Barham at sight with a pistol.. He fired five shots, four of Which took effect, btlt not to B?ch an extent as to disable Barham. Barham fired only two shots, both of which.passed throngh the head of Ball, killing him instantly. Bar? ham and his brother made statements to the county officials and were taken into custody. The tragedy is the outcome of a family controversy. Last September Barham was forced at the pistol's mouth to marry Ball's daughter, the father ac? companying the party to Washington City, where the ceremouy took place. Barham refused to live with his wife after marriage and went South. He returned to the county a few days ago and the fa? tal meeting is said to have been''the first with his father in law since hia return. Ball was commissioner of revenue of the county, while the father of Barham is commissioner in chancery. Presents in the most elegant form the laxative and nutritious juice ?of ths?
